Browns verses  Titans

Vegas Line: Titans - 16  Over/Under: 37.5

What to expect from Titans offense?

The Titans need to win the next two games to have home field advantage during the playoffs. They remember a few weeks ago the Browns defense caused seven turn-overs! So get ready for a big dose of Eddie George and a controlled passing game by McNair. Carl Pickens is coming off an injury and will see quite a few passes to get him ready for the playoffs.

What the Browns defense has to do!

First they must stop Eddie George and contain McNair in the pocket and force him to pass. It's so much easier said then done-ha! But Browns defense had a tough time stopping the Eagles passing attack so they'll beware of TE Frank Wycheck and WR Mason,Thigpen and Pickens.

What the Browns must do!

Continue their success from last week with the short passing game mixed in with the running game. Pederson is looking more comfortable with the offense and I expect them to add a few more special looks using WR Kevin Johnson for the Titans.Northcutt want play because of an ankle injury but don't be surprised if Prentice or Jamal White trow the ball!

What do I think?

I really expect the Browns to play the Titans tough. The team showed up big time against the Eagles playing for pride and their coach. This is there last game of the season and I expect them to leave everything on the field including the kitchen sink! I don't think it will be good enough to beat the Titans- Titans by 14!

*Results*

Because of the weather conditions it proved how important it is to have a good running game! It was impossible to keep any passing game going with wind gust near 40 mph. Eddie George was awesome and was the main difference in the game.
